Chapter 94 The Death of the Headless Horseman
"Mr. Mountain and Sea, are you also a player?" Ava hesitated and asked.
"What do you think?" Gu Shanhai asked back.
Among the aborigines, players are a very peculiar group, and you can tell at a glance that they are different from them.
"No, you give me a completely different feeling from the players, but why do you know so much?" Ava asked.
"Because I'm special." Gu Shanhai revealed the matter in an understatement.
Ava didn't ask any more questions about this. He also saw that Gu Shanhai didn't want to answer.
"Players are a very contradictory and chaotic group. They are a new existence that is no less than aristocrats."
"If you can master such a group in the future, even nobles and even great lords will not be able to compare with future players. By the way, do you believe in the lord?" Gu Shanhai asked.
"Believe, father and brother Kai also believe in the Lord." Ava said.
"That's really good news. If you know the true identity of the Lord, you may be more compatible with us druids. However, I'll leave it to Elder Kurus to explain this to you. After all, you want to join him. Dragon Vein Flow." Gu Shanhai didn't say it directly.
Ava, on the other hand, felt something in her heart and felt a little curious.
"Okay, you can rest quickly. I" Gu Shanhai stood up before he could finish his words, and then said: "Get on your horse, if I don't follow you, you can run to the southern forest and go to the Hart Mountain." Originally looking for Elder Mafas.”
After saying that, Gu Shanhai took out some extraordinary items, all of which were passively used to protect himself and to contact Malfas to a certain extent. They were too far away now, and because they were in the low-demon era, So now Gu Shanhai can't contact Mafas.
"Mr. Mountain and Sea, you" Ava wanted to say something, when he saw a group of heavily armored knights coming on horseback.
The leading knight was carrying a long-handled axe, and all his skin was covered in armor.
"Ava, Merlin asked me to take you back to the royal capital. He misses you very much." The leading heavy armored knight said.
Gu Shanhai tightened his dragon scale robe tightly, and then said: "Let's go to the southern forest, and I will naturally show you the way."
Then he patted the horses, and the two horses started running.
Seeing this, the leading heavy armored knight exuded disdain and did not immediately chase Ava. Instead, he fixed his gaze on Gu Shanhai.
"Mark Druid? You are going against the nobles." The other party said.
"Oh, Dur Lahan, I didn't expect that Merlin Ambrosius would actually let you come, but did you get your fate of being beheaded and die from him?" Gu Shanhai's tone was full of mockery. .
If you say the name Dur Lahan, maybe no one knows it, but if you mention the name of the Headless Horseman, everyone knows it.
Did Dur Lahan die in the era of high demons after the birth of the Holy Grail in the future, or did he die with his head cut off, so he became a headless horseman, wandering around all day long trying to find his lost head.
Gu Shanhai actually didn't know the specific cause of death. That battle was not a secret. The main reason was that there was too little information, because by that time, most of the players had gone to other worlds. Even if there were players who participated in that battle, I haven’t written any thoughts or experiences on the forum.
Most players actually play games silently, rather than showing off on forums or anything like that.
Duer Lahan couldn't help but hesitated when he heard Gu Shanhai's words. He didn't get any relevant prophecies from Merlin. He came here just for some family interests.
If it were anyone else, he might not have any idea, but across from him was a druid with the ability to predict.
Gu Shanhai is also under a lot of pressure. Dur Lahan must have attributes of level 20, but he can burst into strength around level 40, just like Kurus Brass, Malphas Wolffang and others. There are people who far exceed the upper limit of the world, but their reputation is not that great.
When Gu Shanhai was only level 20, he would definitely not be able to beat the opponent without cheating.
So he tried to see if he could scare people away. Even though he was talking, he was actually making predictions and divination, trying to find a situation where he wouldn't fight.
"Hahaha~ Are you looking down on me, Dur Lahan?" Manic laughter came from the heavy armor: "I promised Merlin to bring people back. The knight died on the battlefield, what's the matter? Terrible.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the other party charged with cavalry.
"." Gu Shanhai cursed a little. If he really didn't care why he was still obsessed with his head after death, everyone died in the same way, but you were the only one who couldn't bear the consequences.
Sure enough, he was still too young, which led to youthful frivolity. When he became middle-aged in the future, Dur Lahan would know how to weigh the pros and cons. Now he is just a young man whose eyes are blinded by the glory of the knight.
Seeing this, he had no choice but to fight. Gu Shanhai's expression remained unchanged and he silently unlocked the magic domain.
He was ready to cheat.
"Legal Domain·Aura Force Field!"
"Healing Technique·Death Force Field!!"
"Boy, have you heard the sound of thunder!!!"
Gu Shanhai's whole body was filled with violent life force and spiritual energy, intertwined with mana, and the roots of spiritual plants in his body stretched out from his skin, constantly baring his teeth and claws.
Wisps of electric light rose, and faint sounds of thunder emerged.
In an instant, Gu Shanhai turned into an unparalleled terrifying stream of light with a terrifying thunderstorm, and directly smashed into the center of the group of heavily armored knights, and violent thunder burst out instantly.
"You forced me!!! You forced me!!!"
Crazy sounds accompanied by thunder filled Dur Lahan's ears.
"Bagua·Thunder!"
The spiritual plant was derived from Gu Shanhai's body, and at that moment, a roar of thunder roared out.
Click~
The lightning formed a force field and penetrated into the body of the heavily armored knight. Fortunately for Duer Lahan, although he could not react to Gu Shanhai's violent and swift attack, his strong body during the knight's training was able to withstand this move. , but they were also seriously injured, and the other knights were chopped into charred corpses by the thunder on the spot.
The person died, but the matter was not over yet. After death, there was a crackling sound from the charred corpse in the heavy armor, like rotten wood burning.
Then the heavy armor who fell to the ground staggered to his feet again, as if he was under the control of Gu Shanhai.
Instead of devouring these scorched corpses through healing techniques, he used the exact opposite method to control the nine heavily armored knight corpses and kill them towards Dur Lahan.
"You are very powerful, but that's it." Durlahan kicked away the dead horse, and black mist escaped from the gaps in the armor.
The long-handled ax swept across without hesitation, and the charging heavy-armored knight was instantly cut in half.
Dur Lahan's strength is really not weak. Even if he is seriously injured unexpectedly, he can still have strong combat power, and the knights inherited by the opponent seem to become stronger the closer they are to death.
Different from selling blood, in addition to their own injuries, life span, illness, etc. are also bringing them closer to death. Therefore, the older they are or the more seriously ill they are, the stronger they will become.
It is equivalent to any negative effects Gu Shanhai gives to the other party, which will make them stronger.
Boom~
"Too slow, too slow, you are too slow." Gu Shanhai's hands were like butterflies piercing flowers, and he easily resolved the huge force, and cracks like spider webs formed on the ground under his feet.
Then he slapped him with a big backhand, no matter where he hit, the thunder surged on the opponent's armor, and the healing skills were absorbed in the opposite direction. Whether it was vitality, spirit or soul, it was transmitted into the opponent's body at this moment. .
"Xia Lei showers, give me a break~"
Before Gu Shanhai even shouted out this sentence, he saw that the opponent's armor had become irregular due to the explosion of flesh and blood. The entire head was so swollen that it was impossible to see, and there were a lot of marks on the body. , the armor on the limbs was twisted out of shape.
"Sure enough, the protagonist has no life. He died before I could even call him out."
"Bah, play melee combat with me, have you ever beaten me?"
Gu Shanhai cursed and collapsed on the ground. He really thought that he couldn't fight in close combat. Letting him fight in close combat meant that all the moves were ineffective and he could only fight hard. At this time, Gu Shanhai was the strongest.
Normally he is a weakling, but when he is at full strength, he can reach the highest level of his level. But when he is desperate, he can go beyond the limit. Now he can only be regarded as a part of the desperate effort, without using his full strength.
"Still, we can't just fight so hard. If he survives for another hour, I will be dead." Gu Shanhai regrouped the legal domain to protect himself, added all the protection and restrained all the spiritual energy.
Because he cannot take too much into account when he is desperate and needs to mobilize a lot of mana, the legal domain will not only not be an assist when he is desperate, but will become an obstacle. Even if he is desperate, no matter what defense he needs, it will either be your death or my death.
He was really desperate, thanks to his spiritual root ability, otherwise he would not have dared to be so aggressive.
That's right, he used his life force in conjunction with Lingzhi to use the Bagua Zhenlei set of power enhancements. During this process, his physical fitness was also forcibly stimulated and improved, thereby enhancing his power in all directions. In terms of levels, his level at that time was from Level 20 has soared to around level 50.
This is naturally not the limit. He has estimated the limit, which is probably level 60, but it will be difficult to live with afterwards, which will lead to a serious overdraft of vitality.
He is also overdrawn in vitality now, but it is a mild overdraft, not much. The main reason is that Dur Lahan is not good enough. If Kurus Brass is replaced, it will probably be serious.
"Ahem, this must be the first time you've been injured. It's a big loss." Gu Shanhai took out a high-concentration nutrient and injected it directly into himself.
It doesn't matter if his vitality is overdrawn, he just needs to make up for it. As his trump card, it naturally needs to be able to be used repeatedly, but it will definitely take a while to cultivate.
"Why is it still so bad?" Gu Shanhai tried his divination again and found that his divination had not changed, and it still showed signs of great misfortune.
"In other words, this matter is not over yet?" Gu Shanhai's expression could not help but darken.
"Merlin will definitely not be able to track Ava now. Although he is a legendary wizard, in terms of strength, Malphas can beat him three ways."
"Ava has an extraordinary item made by Malfas, which must not be found."
Fame does not mean ability. Merlin is famous as a legendary wizard not because he is good at fighting, but because he is a political wizard who has not yet been executed.
However, Malphas and other druids devoted themselves to practicing in the Stag Plains without the interruption of foreign affairs. They were characters from the same era, and they were definitely not much different.
"I understand, I have no cover, so I was predicted by the other party." Gu Shanhai quickly found out the reason, and it was still within himself. If he had the extraordinary items given by Malfas, he would naturally not have to worry about being predicted by the other party. .
He does have the Xuanwei Celestial Secret Spell and Visceral Divination and other abilities that can cover up and mislead divination prophecies to a certain extent, but it depends on who he is competing with. Merlin relied on this to make his fortune, and his bloodline plus With the Lord's blessing, he still has some ability despite his abilities.
Unless Gu Shanhai continues to improve, it's better not to think about leaving.
"Merlin should be on his way here too. The day after tomorrow will be the battle of honor. Once Ava is gone, he will lose all his achievements." Gu Shanhai struggled to get up, but he was still a little exhausted.
"Okay, run away quickly. I already have one future legend in my hand, and I don't know how many more I will have to hang on to."
"What a shame."
If he were a player, he would probably have to explode a big treasure chest now, maybe it would be Dur Lahan's profession or equipment, and at least he would have to crush everyone at this stage.
After getting up, he stuffed all the spiritual plants that had grown beyond his skin back into his body. If he wanted to activate the thunder method, he had to have plants to cooperate. The shock in the Bagua represents thunder in the cosmology. In the five elements, Zhen and Xun represent wood, and Gu Shanhai can actually inspire wind.
It's just that this doesn't suit him well. Transforming thunder requires his vitality, mana and spiritual energy to affect the electromagnetic field around him to a certain extent. Transforming into wind is too difficult and he can't handle it at this stage.
So I can only use thunder for the time being.
"Let's predict a wave of more details." Gu Shanhai stood up and summoned the fierce general, asking him to take him away, but the predicted results were still the same.
The fierce general is stronger than him in his normal state, but it is not as good as when he is at full firepower, let alone his ultimate state.
However, it is impossible to say that he is always in the extreme state. It is more of the norm, so he can also help him fight monsters and run errands.
"Xiao Bai needs to improve as soon as possible." Gu Shanhai had thrown Xiao Bai into the portable laboratory before, so as not to cause problems when the fight started. The magic pet pocket couldn't fit it, and this thing would be used by Gu Shanhai. The thunder and mana were annihilated, and even the prophecy spells that he used to be constant were in danger. If it weren't for the large number of super magic skills that he had when he was constant, they would have been annihilated as well.
"Having said that, during this period, my intuition and the like only reminded me when the other party came, and it was of no use during the fight."
"Remember, the other party seems to have been crushed by me."
"Ahem~ It seems that the internal organs were injured, and the bones were also damaged to a certain extent. Sure enough, it was a bit problematic to forcefully take the opponent's attack, but I couldn't avoid it at the time."
Gu Shanhai felt the damage in his body. In the extreme state of desperate efforts, this was not an injury. But now, it should be a moderate injury, which has affected Gu Shanhai's combat power and even his movement.
"Find a better place and use the healing spell to heal yourself." At this time, Gu Shanhai could only use the 1st level druid magic to heal minor injuries until the elemental blessing power in the mark was exhausted. , then I stopped, but the effect was not ideal.
But at least it didn't affect his running away.
Healing moderate injuries, this is a level 3 druid magic, and it can only appear after he has at least condensed all the remaining three secondary natural marks.
Gu Shanhai did not regret not improving the natural mark because of the constant level 1 prophecy spell.
Through the city positioning technique, Gu Shanhai quickly arrived at a town.
There is nothing special here. Gu Shanhai mainly wanted to purchase some herbs and living animals.
This is for my own healing.
‘Hey, why did Malfas and the others only give me extraordinary equipment and not healing potions or anything like that? It’s not because they think I’m not in danger. ’
‘Well, it turns out there is indeed no danger. ’
If Gu Shanhai had not thought about turning the King of Knights into the King of Druid, there would indeed be no risk. Who would have thought that he would think of such a thing in a flash of his own mind.
This is in line with his chaotic behavior in the chaotic neutral camp. He is usually neutral and can even help others. This does not mean that he does not like to do tricks and brain-twitching, etc., but the proportion of chaos is relatively low.
His usual low profile represents his neutrality, while his madness when desperate represents the chaotic code of his camp.
"I don't know who is coming to chase me. If he is a good person." Gu Shanhai looked at this town. A gentleman can bully him, so if he is a good person, Gu Shanhai can use the whole town to his advantage. People threaten each other.
What? Is this unethical? He is neither of the lawful alignment nor the good alignment, regardless of his immorality.
However, we must also consider that Merlin may have predicted his behavior in advance, so the people sent may be those who have no taboos.
Just like Dur Lahan, the opponent had more nobles than knights, so he did not hesitate to strike.
If someone a little crazy comes next, he will be in trouble.
"Then, let's see who is coming."
Gu Shanhai directly used his lifespan to conduct detailed predictions. If it was just to check good or bad luck, he did not need to consume his lifespan, but more detailed predictions were needed.
A picture emerged, and Gu Shanhai stopped instantly.
‘It’s really like this. I didn’t expect it to be him. This is not an ordinary person. There is really no bottom line when it comes to killing. ’
‘It’s true that I will use the people in the town to threaten you, and I will come out with someone more cruel than me to eliminate the trouble. ’
Gu Shanhai looked at the tavern not far away with a gloomy expression.
"The son of light, the fierce dog of the Knights of the Red Branch, the source of misfortune, Setanda Esolun."
If this name is not familiar, then a more popular meaning is: Cu Chulainn.
Cu Chulainn, who has not been modernized and beautified, is a violent, irritable, bloodthirsty, drunken and lustful person. This name is not his original name, but means the fierce dog named Culan. Originally Cu Chulainn ·Churin changed his name to Cullain because he killed Cullan's beloved dog and then protected Cullan. This led to the fact that even his real name Setanda was forgotten.
And this Setanda Esolun will be a legendary hero more famous than Dur Lahan in the future. (End of chapter)
